Chapter Twenty-five: A Long Awaited Talk

"So, then! I shouted out, `You know, you suck, Kaiba! You really suck!!'" Jounouchi blared out.

"No!" Mokuba gasped. "And he let you live?!"

"Well… He kind of did beat the crap out'a me, but I beat him up real good too, you know."

"Oh, I remember! So that's why he was ranting and raving about how he was going to kill you! Makes sense now!" the black haired boy grinned. "I really seriously thought he was gonna kill you too! I mean… Nii-sama isn't the kind to make random idle threats."

"Actually," Jounouchi rubbed the back of his neck. "I was kind of seriously scared of him after that. I really DID think he was going to kill me, you know."

"He would have made it look like an accident too."

"Yeah…" Jounouchi nervously laughed.

"Which is why I can't get over why he'd invite you to come over." Mokuba slurped a cherry slushy through an oversized red straw. "Unless, he plans to off you here, but… That makes no sense. It's to obvious. Oh! Unless he dumps the body out somewhere else and then makes it look like he had nothing to do with it. Or maybe just dispose of the body altogether. Leave no evidence. Hmm? Yeah, that could work. Want another slushy, Jounouchi?"

Jounouchi, though, as much as he loved slushys and envied Mokuba for having his own personal slushy machine right next to the refrigerator, was having a hard enough time swallowing the lump of ice in his throat enough as it was. "Hey, that's my body you're talking about there." He sweat dropped. "Sheesh. You're scaring me, kid."

"Oh, sorry. Heh. I get carried away sometimes."

"Which reminds me," Jounouchi started as he looked over at the new sandwich Mokuba had made for his brother. "Where's Kaiba? It`s been over an hour since we came in here!"

"Hmm? Oh, yeah. Meh. Probably just working on his laptop again. He never stops working you know. He says that school is such a waste of time. It barely leaves him with enough time to get any real work done, you know."

"Really?" Jounouchi had to laugh at the irony of it.

"Yeah, but… I know that Kaiba Corp. is his dream and all… But I really wish he wouldn't work so hard. It's just… I don't know. All this work and pressure, it can`t be good for him."

"He needs to relax more," Jounouchi suggested.

"Yeah. Yeah! Take some time off. Have some fun."

"Get laid," the blond muttered nonchalantly.

"Hahahahaha!!! Yeah!" Mokuba laughed out loud, nearly falling off his stool. He climbed back on and rested his elbows on the large marble island table in the center of the kitchen area. "Seriously. I think he's still a virgin," the boy whispered to the blond.

"What!?!"

"Shhh!!" Mokuba giggled. "Not so loud! Heh, heh."

"Are you serious?" Jounouchi asked truly perplexed.

How can Kaiba be a virgin?! I mean, he's hot!

"Well, think about it!" Mokuba climbed on top of the island table and knocked on Jounouchi's head. "He never lets anyone get near him!"

"Oh… Hm..? I guess. Actually, that makes sense, but… I don't know… It just doesn't seem right…" the blond insisted.

"I think maybe that's why he sometimes acts like the stick up the ass of the stick that he has up his ass has a icicle shoved up its ass!"

"Mokuba!"

"What?!" the boy defied. "Deny it! I dare you! Go on, deny it!"

Jounouchi looked away grinning. "You're a terrible brother."

"Yup, the best there is!" Mokuba proudly declared.

"You're not even listening!" Jounouchi laughed.

"What's that you say?! That I'm so awesome?! Why of course I am!" Both boys fell into a fit of laughter. "But seriously… I wish there was a way to make Nii-sama relax a bit."

Jounouchi shrugged. "You could always get him drunk?"

Mokuba childishly laughed. "Good luck. Nii-sama hates beer. Or any liquor for that matter. He disapproves of it. He says it's for `inbred idiots' and `moronic mongrels`."

"Hmph. Yeah, that sounds like him," the blond grinned.

"Actually," Mokuba suddenly became serious. "That's not a bad idea."

"What? Getting him drunk?"

"No, no. Getting him to relax."

"Yeah," Jounouchi added sarcastically. "Good idea, but how?"

Get him laid.

"Hmm…?" Mokuba though about it. "Oh! I know!" The black haired kid slammed his fist into his palm. "We drug him!"

Jounouchi nearly choked on his cherry slushy. "What?!"

"Think about it! We can slip him something to make him, you know… Happy?" Mokuba said with a sly grin. "Eh?"

Jounouchi blinked a few times. "You're serious?" The other boy nodded. Jounouchi rubbed his chin. "Well… Heh, heh. It'd definitely be something I'd be willing to pay good money to see, heh, heh. And sure, he'll probably kill us afterwards, but…OK! I'll help! Now," the blond looked pensive. "Where do we get our hands on some-"

"The bathroom."

"…What?"

"The bathroom," Mokuba said again. "We got lots of drugs in the bathroom."

Jounouchi looked skeptical. "The kind we need? The… Illegal kind?" Mokuba nodded. "OK, I'm almost afraid to ask, but… Why do you have illegal drugs in your house?"

"Nii-sama disapproves of alcoholic beverages, but he's OK with drugs." Mokuba shrugged.

Jounouchi just stared at the small boy. "Mokuba… Don't take this the wrong way, but… You have one seriously screwed up brother."

Mokuba grinned. "Yeaaaaah, I know. And I`m going to grow up to be just like him!" he laughed with a mock dreamy grin on his face.

"Please don't," Jounouchi sweat dropped.

"OK, so, let's go."

"Where?" the blond asked confused, but getting up from the table and following Mokuba anyways.

"Where else, duh. To the bathroom! We need get ammo!"

"Oh, sweet Kami. You mean that figuratively right? " Jounouchi asked truly concerned and rather scared. "You don't actually keep real ammo in there, right?"

"Well, actually, yes and no."

Jounouchi sweat dropped. "I'm not even gonna ask."

Mokuba grinned as he led the blond up the elegant stairs. "It's actually kind of best if you don't. This way," he waived to the other. Jounouchi nodded and followed. The black haired kid stopped in front of two dark wooden doors and knocked on them. "This is my room." He continued walking a few steps down the hallway and stopped next to another massive set of doors. "And this is Nii-sama's room." Jounouchi made a metal note of it. Mokuba continued down the hall and rounded a corner.

"Hey," Jounouchi called to the little kid. "Who's is this room?" he asked standing in front of a set of doors right in beside Kaiba's room.

"Oh, that's the guest room, but no one uses it." The black haired kid continued down the hall. "Come on," he called out.

Jounouchi followed, still looking back at the red oak doors that he guessed would be his for the night, and trying his best to keep his eyes from darting towards the massive dark oak doors that he only wished could be his. "I'm coming."

"This leads to the bathhouse," Mokuba explained as he opened the door and let Jounouchi walk in.

"Holy crap!" the blond spoke out. "Sugoi!! This is… Kami, this is awesome!"

"Yeah," Mokuba grinned. "Sure beats the boys locker room, eh?"

"You can say that again!" Jounouchi breathed out. The room was a vast expanse of artificial pools and saunas, with tropical flora set in all sorts of places. Tall palm trees and large fanned out ferns and vines crisscrossed, forming rich shadows along the waters edge. A large crystal dome loomed overhead, letting the creeping star light filter through with the approaching dusk, giving everything an overall even more surreal gleam. "Oh my god! Are those real?!" the blond pointed at a few brightly colored group of macaws amongst the foliage. Their bickering calls mingling with the singing of countless other beautiful, exotic birds and the roaring of what Jounouchi guessed could only be an indoor waterfall.

"Yup! Nii-sama likes pretty things. That's why he made the bathhouse look like a tropical jungle. Oh! If you look hard enough, you can even find the iguanas!"

Jounouchi shook his head in disbelief. "Oh man… You guys really know how to live it up, you know that. I mean, wow."

Mokuba grinned again and dashed off to one of the well hidden cabinets near a little waterfall like sink. "I'll get the stuff," he said as he started rummaging through all sorts of bottles.

Jounouchi only nodded, still finding it rather amusing that Kaiba had drugs in his house. And that Mokuba knew about them. He shrugged.

I guess he would. I mean, he's rich. He can do whatever he wants. Hell, he made the Amazon into his own personal bathroom. And Mokuba knowing about the drugs, heh. Hmph, he's probably the one that picks them out! Hey, wait… I just thought about something…

"Hey, Mokuba?" the blond spoke while walking up to the other kid.

"Yeah?" he asked seemingly trying to decide between two oddly labeled bottles.

"Um, well, I was thinking.. How are we going to get Kaiba to take the drugs?"

Mokuba turned around and grinned. "Oh, that's easy! We'll put it in his food!"

Jounouchi sweat dropped. "Isn't that a bit sneaky?"

"Well, fine. You can walk up to him and politely ask him to take one of these," the black haired boy laughed as he handed Jounouchi a bottle and put the other one away.

"No, no! I like your plan better!" The blond grinned and looked at the container. "What is it? I can't read it. It's in English."

Mokuba took the container back and opened it drawing out a few capsules. "Trust me. It's good stuff. Come on," he spoke as he returned the bottle to the cabinet and closed it. "To the kitchen!" He ran off with Jounouchi in hot pursuit.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

Bakura stepped out onto the small balcony that Ryou's large apartment afforded. The sky had recently grown cold with the oncoming dark of night. Shadows obscured the terrace while shining down pure, white light from the newly risen full moon. Bakura stood near the metal railing, looking down at the soft traffic below. Not a single car passed in the desolate street. //It's a quiet night.// He turned to glance at the pharaoh. Yami didn't answer. He simply continued to stare off into space, leaning against the white washed wall of the apartment building. //Yeah. Quiet.// Bakura affirmed, taking in a deep breath and turning to face the other spirit. //You should go in there, you know. Yugi could use a… Familiar face.// The white haired spirit noticed Yami's eye twice a little and look downcast. //It was pretty rude and inconsiderate of you to just run out here, you know. Yugi's about to have a breakdown. Listen, go back in there and-//

//I can't.//

//Eh?// Bakura blinked at the sudden statement. //What do you mean you can't? Yugi's waiting for you!//

Yami looked away again. //Ra… I've been so blind. How could he possible forgive me? I don't…// The pharaoh crossed his arms as though he suddenly felt the chill in the night air. //I don't deserve his… Love. I can't.//

Bakura leaned his back against the railing. He made a pensive face, then shook it. //Baka.//

Yami frowned. //How dare you-// He stopped and sighed, defeated. //Yeah, I guess I am…//

//No, you idiot,// Bakura pushed off from the white painted railing and shambled over to stand next to the pharaoh. //I meant about your stupid reason. Oh course he'll forgive you, you moron,// the white haired boy shook his head exasperated. //Seriously! You surprise me Pharaoh! What happened to that cocky ass bastard I've known and grown to hate?//

The pharaoh sneered. //He's busy being a jerk to his hikari.//

//Ugh,// Bakura sighed. //OK,// he grabbed the other spirit's shoulders and slammed him against the wall. //I really don't give a damned, but… For the sake of Ryou not chewing me out afterwards, I'm going to help you.// Yami blinked in mild surprise. //Oh, don't look at me like that, you punk ass. I'm doing this solely so I can screw Ryou later, so don't get any ideas, now…// Bakura took a deep breath. //Tell me everything.//

//What?// the spirit asked not understanding.

//You know, tell me what's on your mind. I've heard it said that talking about your problems can help you sort them out. That's what I'm here for, so, talk away. Who knows, I could give you some advice even.//

Yami laughed cynically. //No, thanks. I'd rather not take any advice from a low life like you.//

//Hey, at least I didn't ignore my own hikari into depravation, then run out on him when he needed me the most!// Yami lowered his face in shame. //Ah.. Gomen. That was a bit low, even for me. Look, Yami. I'm serious. I'm trying to help. I really am.//

//Why?// the other spirit still bore a resentful grudge in his eyes.

Bakura shrugged. //Personally, I'm not sure. I don't know. But… Maybe… I don't know. Maybe it's because Ryou's made me a better person. And because no one deserves to be unloved. Regardless of who they are. Or how much I hate them.//

Yami's eyes raised and the spirit looked at Bakura in complete astonishment. //Oh, gods! Now even my immortal enemy takes pity on me!// Yami sunk to the floor.

//Huh? What? No, no! Damned it, Pharaoh! I'm trying to help you here because I'm worried about you- I mean.. Um, because Ryou told me to.// The white haired boy quickly covered. //Sheesh! Just accept my help already will you?!//

Yami smiled weakly. //Thank you.//

Bakura coughed awkwardly. //Yeah, right, so. Um. Look, Pharaoh, Yugi cares about you. And…// He sighed. //You're not the only one that didn't notice, OK?//

Yami sighed. //Not the only one that didn't notice Yugi-?//

//No. Not that.// Bakura grumbled.

Yami looked confused. //Then what are you talking about?//

//I meant, you're not the only one that didn't notice their hikari almost… Damned Ra for making me tell YOU of all people this, but, the same thing happened to me, OK?//

//I don't understand-//

//Shut up and listen, will you?// Bakura went back to lean against the white, metal railing. //Ryou was pretty much as suicidal as he was going to get; on the verge of killing himself, you know? Actually, making me kill him, but… He… Gods, I was so stupid. He was really scaring me, Yami. I'm darkness. I'm used to the dark of evil and all that other unholy crap, but Ryou! Gods! He was really freaking me out! So… Well, I told him to knock it off, and then… Um… Ah, hell.//

//What?// Yami asked, genially intrigued. //What? What happened?//

Bakura sighed. //I knew this would come back and bite me in the ass some day. Then, I… Ugh… Then… Then, I emulated your relationship with Yugi and did what I figured you would have done in my situation, and went and talked with Yugi, I mean, with Ryou, and… One thing led to another, and in the end, I found out that the whole reason for him being so… Suicidal was because he was in love with me, and I had been to much of a careless idiot to have noticed.//

Yami blinked, taken completely aback. //You mean-?//

//Yeah, I also didn't notice Ryou until it was almost to late.//

//No, I mean, you…// Yami smirked. //You and Ryou would never have gotten together if you hadn't of looked up to me, and tried to act like me!//

//What?! Urusei! If you ever throw that in my face ever again, I swear I'll brake your toothpick legs and shove them up your skinny ass, you ungrateful jerk!//

The tri color haired spirit laughed. //No, no, I'm grateful. Really! I am, actually. Thank you, Bakura.//

The white haired spirit pursed his lips together. //Yeah, yeah, just go suck up to your damned hikari already. Ryou's busy trying to calm him down.//

Immediately the pharaoh's countenance fell. //Bakura, I don't think I can. Putting everything aside, It… It doesn't feel right.//

//What do you mean it doesn't feel right?!// Bakura yelled, waiving his arms around like a mad man. He could see the pharaoh struggling for an answer. A sudden and horrible thought occurred to the tomb robber. //Damned Ra, you don't love Yugi?//

//What?! No, no!! That's not it! I do! I do love Yugi! I love him- Oh, Ra… I love Yugi..? I love Yugi?!// Yami spoke as if in an internal debate.

//Well, duh.// The white haired demon crossed his arms and semi rolled his eyes. //Oh! I get it!// he proclaimed suddenly. //Oh, of course! It all makes sense now!//

//Huh? What does?//

//Well, when Ryou first told me that he wanted me to kiss him, I was like, OK. Sure! Why not? You know, `cause I don't give a damned. No sense of moral obligation at all. Comes with the territory of being the evil bad guy, you know. I didn't feel bad about kissing Ryou, or trying to take his virginity, or about possibly corrupting him, or any of that other stuff. Because no matter what happens, I'll always love him; I'll always be there for him, and even if it kills him, I'll never let him go. I'm a greedy bastard, after all. What can I say? I'm evil! Besides, Ryou will never change. He's too pure. He balances me out…// Bakura explained, using plenty of hand gestures. //But, you... You do have moral obligations towards your hikari, don't you? You probably feel all torn up inside about, I don't know, being with him in anyway other than as a friend or a guardian. Am I right? You're afraid that you might corrupt him, and that you might taint his pure, shinning, Ra forsaken light, huh?//

Yami's deeply shadowed eyes glinted with kept back tears. //Yes,// he admitted as if for the first time realizing the extent of his own virtue. And the curse of it.

//Heh, sucks to be you. But actually, I got news, and you'll like this,// the white haired fiend smirked and winked. //I've realized something; probably do to the freedom from restrains of morals and all that other annoying BS. Because of it, I believe I can see things a bit more clearly. I figured out a little tidbit of eternal wisdom. Listen up now, it's kind of deep. See… Darkness can not exist without light, and the light without its dark. They were made for one another. Without dark, the light becomes blinding, and without the light, darkness suffocating. Both have to be together. They just have to be. It's like a Yin and Yang kind of thing. All this time, you've been trying to protect your hikari from evil. Hell, even I have, to an extent. We've been trying to protect them from the darkness… From ourselves! Because we are darkness, and don't you dare deny it, Yami. Even your name gives you away. You ARE darkness. But, don't you get it? They're the ones that have been protecting US from ourselves! They're our checks; our balance. They keep us from getting out of control. Whether it's by instilling us with morals, or by withholding sex, without them, we couldn't exist… And the same goes for them. You see, Yami? Yugi has to have you. Without you… He's empty. And, without him, so are you.// Bakura leaned against the railing as far as he could, letting the stronger night breeze play with his radiantly wild hair as it whipped about his smooth, pale face. If he had a cigarette he would have put it to his lips and smoked it. And looked cool doing it. But he didn't. And also, he didn't smoke. Nasty habit.

Yami smiled and looked up at the brilliant stars.

You know…? That almost makes sense. Hmph, who would have known..? Bakura's a lot wiser than I've ever given him credit for. I… I want to go see my aibou now. I want to… No, I need to.

Yami got up and walked towards the sliding glass door that led back into the apartment.

Thank you, Bakura. I will never forget this. I will forever be in your debt…

Yami slid the glass door and paused. //So… That's how he did it?//

//Hm?// the white haired spirit mused.

//He withheld sex from you?//

Bakura deadpanned. //You just had to ruin a perfect moment, didn't you?!//

Yami grinned, back to his normal arrogant self. //What can I say? I'm evil.//

* * * * * * * * * *

"Oh, no!" Mokuba shouted as he and Jounouchi stepped back into the kitchen.

"What?! What!?!" the blond shrieked out.

"The sandwich I made is gone! Kaiba must have come in here while we were gone and taken it back into his office! Crap!"

"What?! That's why you-? Damn it, Mokuba!" Jounouchi bashed the black haired kid on the head. "You scared me half to death! What's it matter anyway?"

"Well, that's how I was planning on drugging him," the kid grinned, walking over to the refrigerator.

"Oh… Damn! Now what?"

"Plan B," the black haired boy answered smugly as he brought out a pitcher of water and set it on the marble island table.

"Plan B? What's plan B?" Jounouchi curiously eyed Mokuba as he saw the boy pull out a long, wooden, stirring spoon.

"Plan B, my partner in crime, is to drug this pitcher of nicely chilled bottled water, and then offer some to Kaiba," the scheming kid answered. "Surely, after having ingested that large sandwich I made for him, he'll be very thirsty." He opened the small powder filled capsules and emptied them into the water.

"Oh," Jounouchi grinned as well. "Man, Mokuba, you are one evil little boy. I hope I never have a kid brother like you! No wonder Kaiba's such a paranoid freak! He's got you to deal with all the time!"

"Yes, yes, we've already discussed my absolute genius and complete awesomeness. But please, do go on." Both boys laughed as Mokuba stirred the drugged water.

* * * * * * * * * *

Yami walked back into the room. He could clearly hear soft whimpering. It pulled and sliced at his heart to discover that those sounds of anguish emanated from Yugi. //Aibou!?// the pharaoh cried as he ran towards his hikari.

Yugi, who had been softly crying on Ryou's shoulder, looked up, both startled, confused and scared. He quickly looked away. /Gomen ne, Yami-ku- Uh, Yami… Gomen…/ He wiped away at his tears and tried to smile, but Yami could feel the tremendous pain stabbing at his chest.

//Ie! Aibou! I'm the one that should apologize! I'm an idiot! Please forgive me! Ra! Please forgive me! I.. I'm sorry I ran! I just.. I was scared that… Oh, Ra! Yugi! I'm so sorry!//

Yugi smiled, a pained smile still, and nodded. /Of course, Yami. It's.. It's OK if…/ he whispered. /If you don't love me. I understand…/

Yami nearly fell to his knees.

No… No! Yugi, no!

The pharaoh stood at a distance, but quickly closed the space between himself and the other tri color haired kid. //Yugi!// he practically begged. //Ra knows it's not true! I do love you! More than I've ever loved anything- Oh, Ra! Yugi! Please, don't ever think that I don't- Gods! I love you!!!// Yami was, for all effect, bawling his eyes out on Yugi's shirt. His head nested on Yugi's chest with both his arms around the smaller boy's petite body. //Forgive me.. I love you…//

Yugi had managed to lull himself into a sort of nightmarish trance, one in which he had suppressed his emotions, his love, and his hope. When Yami had backed out of the room, after he had looked at him, sitting there on the couch, his face contorted into a, no doubt, hideous mask of pure pain and repressed emotion, what else was he to think, other than that Yami no longer loved him? What else was he to do, other than kill himself, or at least what he could of his soul; of the only part of him that could feel? Even breathing seemed impossible with the unimaginable agony that flowed through his veins as he felt his heart sink into the pit of his stomach and drown in the acidic waste of his own despair.

Ryou had tried to comfort him, but he knew all to well the uselessness of it. Without Yami… Yugi could not live. Ryou, as a hikari himself, could only all to well understand this.

Then Yami stepped back into the room, and spoke. Yugi played the valiant soldier, but his words were hollow. Their insincerity echoed through his lips and shook Yami's very frame. Lost was the glow of life, the sparkle and gleaming gems, in Yugi's large, bright, violet eyess. Yami cringed and spoke some more, but Yugi was not there. He was not listening. He had written a play, and his body, now an empty vessel, a dancing marionette, was simply acting out its part. And then Yami spoke again. And, this time, finally said those magical words, that halted all time and reality. All bars were down; all secret walls were crushed, all truths disclosed. Yugi blinked once, and his eyes welled with tears as he slowly felt his arms move again, under his own command. He felt warmth, and heard crying. He felt soft skin encircle his body, and a deep longing touched his very soul. He blinked a second time. And felt a soft pounding in his chest once more, and a lingering fragrance of sweet night air, dipped in the honey rich essence of his yami. He came too and vividly replayed the second's events all over in his head.

Did..? Did Yami just say..? That he…? Did he…?!

//I love you, aibou! I love you so much! I… I can't… I can't exist without you. I.. I don't want to exist without you! There's no point to any of it, unless, I can be with you! Please, forgive my stupidity, aibou. Please- //

/Yami?/

//Aibou?!// Yugi lifted his eyes to meet with those of his angel. //Yes?//

Yugi shielded his own eyes and let the stream of salty liquid flow down his red cheeks. He slowly opened them again, as if reassuring himself that this was indeed reality. /Yami..? Will you..? Can you..? I mean… If I asked..? Would you…? Would you ki… Would you kis.. I.. I mean… Would you kiss-?!/ Yugi's pleads were silenced by Yami's lips as he softly let them meet Yugi's. All questions disappeared. All doubts faded. Nothing remained except that immortal kiss.

Yugi wrapped his own arms around his love. Everything was perfect in the world. Everything was absolutely perfect.

* * * * * * * * * *

Ryou gently slid the door back closed as he stepped outside. He noticed Bakura leaning over the railing. /Hey./

//Hey.// Bakura turned around. //So? How'd my one good deed for the century go?//

Ryou smiled sheepishly.

//I take it good then? Hmph. Damned better. I didn't bother putting up with that damned pharaoh for nothing-// He noticed the look Ryou was giving him. //What?//

Ryou smiled a bit more seductively as he slinked to his yami's side. /That was a very nice thing you did for Yami and Yugi, Bakura./

Bakura grinned. //Oh? Nice, you say?// he smirked as he pulled his white haired angel to his side. //Well, I better hurry up and do something nasty before I get used to it, huh?//

/Mmm… Maybe… Actually, I think you deserve a reward./

//A reward?// Bakura was really liking were this was going. He dipped his hands under Ryou's shirt and slid them up his silky, soft sides. //What kind of reward,// he whispered into his koi's ear.

Ryou moaned softly as he felt Bakura begin to pull off his shirt. The slightly rough texture of Bakura's hands, coupled with the tantalizing heat of them and the cool night air brushing alongst his delicate white skin were driving him wild. /Anything you want./

//I want you,// the white haired demon grazed his teeth over Ryou's now bear shoulders and licked the milky jawbone, tracing a line of sweet kisses towards Ryou's full lips. //I want you bad.//

Ryou could feel a small tugging at his waist and suddenly noticed Bakura's hands had managed to unbutton his fly. He flushed, but let his yami continue. /Then take me./ He opened his mouth and gave Bakura complete access into himself. Bakura eagerly accepted.

And the sliding door, did just that: it slid. //Hey!// Yami happily shouted out. //Are you out here- Oh, sorry!// He grinned and slid the door back shut.

Both Bakura and Ryou paused mid-make out. Ryou blushed a red shower that spread all over his upper body. /Um…/ He bit his lips as he disentangled himself from Bakura's limbs and retrieved his shirt. /I don't think we should be doing this out here Bakura. What with, you know, them here and all./ Ryou pulled his shirt back on as he slid the door open. /Uh, I'm going back inside. Uh, bye./ He stumbled through the door, and quickly shut it.

Bakura blinked a few time. He felt an annoying surge of déjà vu. It was quickly followed by a malicious need to destroy something; anything. //Ahh!! Damned it! No! Damned it! Damned ass Pharaoh!! I'll kill you!!! You hear me?! KILL YOU!!!//

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Heh, heh. Man, I love messing with Bakura. I figure, when he finally does get his hikari in bed, it'll be all the sweeter, ne! Hee. Ah, yes, so, one of the most amusing parts of the plot (at least the one I've waiting to get to) is almost here! Yay! The `Jounouchi and Kaiba get together' part! Eee! Can't wait! Ah, yes, and Yami and Yugi are finally together, but, like I mentioned before, they don't do the groovy lemon scene till last. That's just the way it goes. I think that might appeal to some people out there, you know, the `not having to read about a dead king and a midget kid screwing' scene… Shame on you. Yugi can't help being shoooOOOOOooooOOoooOoooOOOOOooort. *points at RyokoMink* Hah, hah!! *then runs in fear* Ahh!!! Please don't hurt me! I have to do the reviews! The reviews! Oh, please! Why won't someone thing of the reviews!! Oh! That reminds me! I was reviewing some other fics when, Bam! I see this little counter thing at the bottom ticking away my remaining letters, and I'm like, "Ah! My letters!" So, I wrote that, and Bam! More letters gone! Eep! I finally know what you people are talking about! Ah, but, I found out why it`s there. See, there's this punk ass that's been spamming people in their reviews with his name and crap written like twenty bazillion times, over and over, and over, and over! Like flames they are! And annoying! Anyway, so insulting were these flames, that management got uppity and installed the review counter. Still, I guess it's a good way of protecting the writers from punk asses, ne? Anyways! Onto the reviews! My favorite part of this midnight snack!

Yoh! How goes it, mah homiiiiie…? *snorts* Heh, heh. My mom's cleaning the refrigerator right now. She's going on and on about all the crap I have in there. So far, she's found four soy sauce bottles. It's funny too, 'cause no one can figure out who bought them, heh. Odd. Yeeeeeah. Mom's are interesting people. I like to observe them in their natural habitat. Then pretend like I'm not. And then actually not, 'cause I get bored. So I go read a manga. But I digress. Oh! I'm making a JouXKaiba cel! It's awesome! I'll show you (via scanned picture) when I finish it!

Yami's Lover
I hope you liked the chapter! Yugi's pain is gone! Finally! Rejoice! He hath Yami now! But, he ain't getting any till the end… Unless… I don't know… I've been thinking about it lately. Should I keep to the original plan and bed them last, or make Bakura and Ryou last in rolling in the hay? Opinions would be welcome people! Oh! And yes, I'm gonna keep messing with Honda, heh, heh. You'll see! *wink* But first I gotta get over the weekend. It's still Friday in the fic, no da. *sweat drop*

Rowan Girl
Right, right. Riiiiight. Then I'm a very, very, very good writer, huh? Hey, wait, I am. Hm, wouldn't you know it. Heh. I guess you're right. It's not porn. My apologies, good sir… It's yaoi! Yay! Go yaoi! Oh, you like the Honda spoofs? Yeah, I'm gonna mess with him some more. Heh, he shall serve a purpose yet! 4:46 AM? Wow, getting a snicker at that time is hard. Thanks for the… Oh, wait. I have to go.. Be back….. OK, I'm back. My mom's doing laundry. It's something we only do, like once a month, so it's a special occasion. Apparently cousins are coming to visit us from Mexico! So, she gave me a stack of stuff to go put away in my room, but one of my brother's boxers was in my pile of clothes. We share clothes so it was an easy mistake to make. Anyways, I returned the boxers to my brothers room. He was kinda' surprised. It's not everyday I run in there screaming, "UNDERWEAR ATTACK!!" and then pelt him with his own underwear. Heh, heh. He yelped like a little girl. Heh. How amusing. I should do this regularly. Now, please excuse me while I roll around in soft, warm, clean blankets! Mmmmm….

Saelbu
I've come up with stuff! How about now?! And I've a question for you… Have YOU ever pelted your brother with his own underwear? (read previous paragraph) Oh! And yes. That's the kind of house I wish I could have… Will have. Yeah.

Sakayora
No, problem. And yes, I intend to make him even more paranoid, heh, heh. Ah, so the refrigerator is now clean. (read previous paragraphs) and I walked over there and saw cottage cheese. I was like, "Ooh! Cottage cheese!" So, I opened it, and ugh!! It's orange! I'm like, "Ah! Cottage cheese ain't supposed to be ORANGE!" What the hell! I've never seen orange mold before! So, now I'm excited too. Mold makes me excited? Uh… That ain't right…

Tamlin
All is revealed! Yami and Yugi are finally together! Yay! Hee. It was so sweet too… I think. I can't remember what I wrote anymore. *sweat drop* But I think it was sweet. Ah, but the day is still, uh.. Not over yet. Much can still happen… Dum dum DUM!

Sakiyama
People really seem to like the Honda thing. I think I'm gonna do it regularly now. Heh. Poor Honda. I am soooo gonna mess with him, heh. Yes, yes! You can stop abusing Yami. He /finally/ noticed. He gave a semi good reason for being kind of oblivious too. Although Bakura told him he was still a moron. Good for him. Oh, you lost the inspiration?! That's terrible! Hopefully it'll come back, ne? And yes, don't worry. Kaiba ain't going to kill Jounouchi… But… Do ya'll remember many chapters ago when I happened to /mention/ that Jounouchi was gonna… Die? Well, in case you don't remember.. *clears throat* Jounouchi's gonna DIE!!! Mwahahahahaha!!! *scampers away laughing maniacally*

RyousGirl567
Ah, high school. I remembers that's places… Why, just the other day I didn't pass by, but I think I my have remembered it. I think. Meh. High school's fun, but no where near as fun as collage. Oh, and take my word for it. No matter how important they say something is, chances are, once you actually do get out of high school, it's completely pointless. Yup. They just love seeing you sweat with fear! Sooo… Good luck! Heh, heh. Say "Yoh!" to saki for me, ne?

DemonandGoddess
So, did you like the fonts? Oh, and did I send you those awesome links with the YuGiOh! Yaoi doujinshi links? I can't remember. If not, tell me, and I'll send them! Mmmm…. Tres Leches/Strawberry cheesecake… *mouth waters* Actually… I think I'm gonna make that! Yes! I'm an awesome cook! I'm going to make that cake! And then gobble it up! And very well possibly image Bakura doing perverted things to Ryou with that cake! Yes! That is what I shall do!

Mill
Yup! And burned his virgin eyes, heh. And soon, Yami's gonna burn something else, too, heh, heh…

*koumori wolf*
Heh. Oh, yeah, the counter. It is rather annoying, isn`t it? I feel… Robbed somehow. Like, "Give me back my numbers, you horrible counter, you!" Heh. Oh!! I feel so… If I wasn't feeling so nauseous from tasting the orange cottage cheese, I'd blush. Arigato! I'm glad that you like the realism! I'm trying to keep this as… Realistic as I can get, what with it not being real… And all. Heh. Oh, and yeah. I know I'm awesome. Hee, hee. Really, thanks!

*+*+*Gemini*+*+*
Oh! Oh! I went to DNA Comics (this comic book store I hang out at sometimes) and I was dressed all cool like. Really, though! I looked like a action hero out of a Marvel comic! So the dude that works there is all like, "That's awesome!" And this other dude yells out, "Hey, that's great!" And I remembered you, and corrected them both by saying, "Yes! The greatsomeness of me is awe inspiring, puny humans!" Ahhh… Just another great day, I mean, greatsome day at DNA. Heh. Now, I try to use that word whenever I can! Thanks so much! Hee! Now I can run around and whisper secretively in peoples ears that I written a fic absolutely saturated in greatsomeness! I did it in the computer lab in your honor, but the Computer Lady told me to stop. Apparently I "disturb" people. Heh, heh. Excellent.

Velvetina
Yay! Cookies! Yay! Silver! *shakes Velvetina back* But I've grown attached to my talent. Like toes. I'd miss it if I gave it away! But… Well… How about this? *throws talent dust at Velvetina* It's actually pixie stick dust, but you get the general idea, heh. Ah, the eBay episodes are subtitled, yo. I wish I could understand and speak Japanese too! Sadness! But my day shall come! Agk! Re-runs?! How annoying it must be! Well, I'm sure that /eventually/ they'll get there. Like they did with DBZ, some what, 3 years later?! *sweat drop* Yup. Rafael and Yami duel, but Yami basically tells his hikari to take a hike, and battles by himself, and turns evil for a little while. He even gets evil red glints in his eyes! Then, he looses, but it's Yugi's soul that ends up sacrificed. For the next 15 episodes or so, Yami's quest is to recover it. It's so heart wrenching too because Yami won't stop being depressed about it! He even cries! Several times! And has a nervous break down even! Oh, one of the best parts is the train scene, where Anzu's trying to cheer him up (stupid whore), but he's just ignoring her. Then he gets up, and walks away. Just walks away in the middle of her sentence and goes into the little room between the cars. There, he punches the wall, starts crying, and falls to the floor, with his back to the wall and his knees pulled up to his chin. It's so…. Not like the English version. I bet they're gonna cut it out. Without a doubt. So sad! Another is when Jounouchi calls up Kaiba and asks him for help. Kaiba notices Yami in the background and cusses him out. And Yami stands there and takes it. And does nothing. Because he mentally agrees with everything that Kaiba has said! Ah! It's so depressing! But good. Very good. Oh! And this one part, where Dartz, who now has Yugi's soul, manifests it, and uses it like a puppet to physically attack Yami with! It's so sad too because you can see the puppet Yugi shedding tears, but still being unable to keep from beating Yami up! And Yami won't fight back because he refuses to hurt his precious hikari! Ah!! …… I'm gonna stop teasing you with future clips but… It's probably going to be quite awhile before they show any of this. Sorry, ne. Ah! Did you like the description of the bathhouse? Man! I want a damned place like that! Hell, leave it to Kaiba, that he has to crap like a god, heh. Eh? Only one?!?! Oh, no! But, but, but I can't choose!! I like both Bakura and Ryou!!! Both!! Um… Well… I'm going to have to say Ryou. But only because Bakura would probably try to slit my throat at night. I've grown attached to my throat as well. Heh.

Fallin Dark Angel
Heh, heh. Oh, you pervs! Hahahaha!!! How amusing! Oh, well. The kids have to learn someday, huh? Hahahaha!! Yup, den of lions it is… And Kaiba's hungry! Hee, hee! Soon, ne!

RyokoMink
Ah, Lieutenant! My trusted ally against all the Justines and Justin(e)s of the world. How goes thee? And yes, yaoi doujinshi are awesome. And… Disturbing. And awesome! Well, you did get extra experience points for pulling a Vash and playing your character well, ne. And how fitting that I should take over the ship and name myself Captain, ne? Heh. Well, I can go on and on about your damned review, but… I'll just see you this weekend. I'll ramble on then. And, I'm still rather disappointed that no one showed up as Ryuzaki at A-kon. It would have been funny if he'd of spent all of his time with Haga, ne?! Heh, heh. Ja ne!

Celia
Yoh! Eh? Really? Which one?! Which doujinshi?! DTD? Cyber Fake? Queen of Kabukichow? Midnight Pure? Some other one? Yeah, I've recently gotten into translating them… It's sooo much fun! And the incentive is great! I mean, seriously now, what incentive can possibly be better than two hot guys screwing?! Two hot YuGiOh! Guys screwing, mind you! Heh. Hm… I'm trying to figure out what this is: o(> Is it a… Oh! A one eyed, frowning, fanged alien dude!?! Am I right?! Am I?! Am I?! Heh.
