Well Kon'nichiwa (Hello) how are you today? Well, I decided to write an epic chapter, but failed on the third degree level. 3 so enjoy a long-winded and rather bad chapter. (or at least that's what I think.) I've strayed away from the plot big time in this chapter… how am I going to fix that? /Goes to edit plot/storyline.

"…hurt…" The whimpered word and the shadow slithered back down, shriveling underneath the pharaoh's feet. "Yuugi's hurt and upset." A flick of his head, and Yami's eyes widened. Standing quickly, he slid away from Mahado and rushed towards the door. "Yuugi's in danger!"

Chapter 11- Distraction

Yami pushed away, disgust crossing his face like a virus infecting ones stomach. The thief laughed, eyebrows tilting upwards in a mocking expression as he grinned giddily at the pharaoh. "Aw, the pharaoh's not glad to see his little robber, is he?" Yami growled, irritated beyond belief as anxiety and fear interfered with his own emotions of boiling rage.

"As glad as hell I am!" Wind danced around the two demons, "Now get your skinny ass out of here, I have an appointment." The thief raised his hands, almost as if he was backing away, but his eyes flashed open, smirk resting upon his lips.

"But dearest Atem, do you really believe I'd just waltz away," licking his lips, the thief grinned manically, "especially when such a tasty meal's on the line." Yami winced, something was wrong, so wrong and it hurt so badly… "I see you've noticed my little boy." Yami's eyes snapped open, glaring to the best of his capabilities, but the clenching in his gut refused to allow him to do so.

"What-what are you?" The thief laughed, walking up next to the pharaoh, "There's only one way I couldn't have him Atem." Yami felt pressure on his chin as the thief tilted his head upward. Both sets of eyes met when Yami was pulled into a searing kiss, stealing his breath, making him feel sick inside. In fact a part connected to Yuugi was screeching in betrayal. Pushing away, Yami was panting, soft blush over his cheeks as both pain and pleasure scorched his body.

"Shit," Yami hissed, clenching his stomach as the pleasure pooled beneath his legs and he closed his eyes, mouth open in a silent scream for Yuugi. Bending over, he found himself lying upon the ground, hand clenching at the dirt and grass, trying to stand, but unable to control his own movements. "What have you-what did you-?" A sigh, and the thief rolled his eyes, disappointment evident in his eyes.

"I can't believe you still don't recognize me pharaoh, it hurts!" Grinning the thief leaned over Yami, whispering in his ear, "Ryou and me were partners, remember?" Yami's eyes widened as he threw his fist backward. Bakura- Bakura was using Ryou to…

Gasping, Yami growled, forehead gleaming with the power of the puzzle and instantly the pharaoh disappeared, evaporating into the shadows, leaving Bakura alone. A Cheshire smirk pressed against his lips as he sauntered up to the house, only to be stopped on his way inside.

"Get away from my Pharaoh's estate," Mahado warned, eyes narrowed. Bakura laughed, "Oh, and how would a Master beat me?" Out from behind Mahado stepped the apprenticed Dark Magician Girl, eyes staring hard at the thief. "Just because you think one Master couldn't beat a Thief, a thief and a close to master apprentice should do… don't you think?" Mana grinned victoriously, green eyes glinting off the sunlight.

The thief sighed unceremoniously pulling off his coat before getting ready. "Be prepared to learn your place." Mana laughed heartily, eyeing the thief before rolling her eyes.

"With that outfit, we'll be lucky if he doesn't faint from suffocation." Both Mana and Mahado laughed together, Mahado nodding approvingly before winking and turning back to the now angered Bakura.

Snarling, Bakura snapped back "You'll pay for that remark," and Mana reached into her back pocket and pulled out a wallet.

Upon opening it, a fly flew from the inside and she turned it upside down. All of which is a long winded way of saying she had no money. Shrugging with little conviction, she stated: "I'm afraid I'm broke, maybe next week." Bakura hissed in annoyance, charging at the two magicians who twirled away, wind and dark magic streaming from their hands as other-worldly languages spilled from their tongues casting enchantments upon and towards the Thief.

-…-…-

Yuugi muttered under his breath, heart beating faster and faster every living second, eyes wide with confusion at the scrutiny. A hand traveled down from his shoulder, to his elbow, to his waist and he winced, fear of where this could be going. Class had just ended a few minutes ago, and Yuugi had found that Ryou wanted a tour of the school, being talked into giving it to him. Yuugi regretted ever making that decision.

At the moment they were in the Student Council Lounge, Ryou pinning Yuugi against the couch, eyes trailing up and down his body as if it were a piece of meat waiting to be devoured. Wincing, and visibly shivering Yuugi tried to push off and away, but the other teen suppressed Yuugi, hand moving downward until he gripped Yuugi's thigh. Jerking upward, the boy stared wide-eyed at Ryou. This couldn't be happening, this- it couldn't, Ryou, Ryou wasn't going to be a- a! Yuugi shuddered, the feeling of warmth, like a sickness holding onto his stomach.

Swallowing bile running up his throat, Yuugi cried out, tears falling down his cheeks in wave after wave of nausea swept over him. Leaning his head back, Yami's name kept whispering over and over in his head, to pretend the things that Ryou was doing… Yuugi whimpered, turning his head away, hand covering his face as Yami's full name was whispered past his teeth. Memories shivered through his mind, of Yugi and Yami, sweeter, more tender, then horrible and stubborn, idiotic, funny, and suddenly a spear of pain cut through any comfort received.

Bolting upright, Yuugi pushed Ryou away, his pants falling to the floor, shirt already discarded somewhere, boxers thankfully still where they were needed as Yuugi covered his body from the other teen. Leg's pulled up one arm latched around them to keep them up and to stop the ability of Ryou reaching him.

Ryou stared, saddened eyes watching as Yuugi began to relax his breathing, trying to calm himself. Something had snapped him awake, but he didn't know what did it. The door slammed open, and the pharaoh stared at Yuugi. Shoving past Ryou his hand found Yuugi's chin, eyes sincere and soft in the light of the room. Reaching forward he placed a gentle kiss on Yuugi's cheek, backing away just enough to see Ryou.

"Tell the Thief he's taken." Ryou stared up with solemn eyes, but nodded and stood.

Yuugi however jumped up, latching his hand with Ryou's shoulder. "Wait, the 'thief' who's?" Yami grabbed Yuugi's shoulder, and Yuugi jerked away, anger clear in amethyst eyes. "And you, who the hell goes and says they love someone then dumps them off to deal with the pain of rejection- without even telling the person they were dumped!" Yami winced, but didn't argue as Yuugi slapped him. A slight red mark crossed Yami's face, but he refused to move.

"Yuugi," Yami whispered, and Yuugi turned away, eyes filling with tired tears, "Yuugi…" this time the tears fell down Yami's cheeks as well. Reaching out, he grabbed Yuugi's arm, "Yuugi is hurt." Yuugi glanced back, his tears falling down the pharaoh's cheeks. "Yuugi," and with that Yami kissed him, lips meeting in a tentative sensation, scared of lost yet wanting and trying. A perfect image of what they both felt welling inside their chest, Yuugi feeling waves of sorrow and fear of neglect wash over his body as Yami felt sadness and confusion.

Pulling away, Yami hugged Yuugi, arms wrapping around Yuugi's shoulders as he pulled him into his warm and comforting chest. "Yuugi is Yuugi, not Yugi, so stop." Yuugi looked up, unsure of how to react, "Yuugi shouldn't try to follow in the footsteps of Yugi," Yami let his head fall upon Yuugi's shoulders.

"This only brings heart-break," Yuugi whispered, "That's what he said," Yami nodded, tears beginning to recede. "Loving only hurts…" Yami's arms tightened, trying to convey anything other than that, "but if it's the right person," Yuugi lifted his hands, wrapping them around Yami's back, and tilted his head downward, "then I guess… I guess it'd be worth-…"

The door slammed.

Yuugi and Yami glanced up, the door still quivering from the forceful shoving it had just recently received. Ryou stood on the opposite side of the door, tears streaming down his face. How was he supposed to… when Bakura had… Ryou stumbled away from the door, running away from the room where two shattered souls tried to find peace together in their broken state.

Yami slid his hand through Yuugi's hair, trying to smile, but only barely making a grimace. Yuugi did smile, but it was short-lived, and small. Both stared at each other, trying to express a way to explain their actions. Yami sighed, "Perhaps I should go first."

"I… I like that idea," Yuugi shifted to sit next to Yami, waiting for the story to start.

"Well then I should probably start in Egypt, when I first became Pharaoh Yami Atem…"

Spindlegal Well Spindlegal, you gotta realize …*gets muffled due to ruining story*... Anyway, Jou is just a puppy, so what do you expect? Kidding, *will explain next chapter*. Ryou be that other demon… hmm, possible, except Ryou and Bakura are two separate people in this story. *grins*
Wait… SPONGEBOB? *chases after you* WHAT EPISODE!

Doragon-chan or did he? Nah, he didn't Bakura decided to make an appearance by himself. Oh yes, Yami needed to get back to Yuugi, or else… something bad was gonna happen.

Yami Yuugi Indeed, I wouldn't leave you people hanging, would I? Yami had his reasons, -he thought Yuugi would hate him, and rather break of their ties like that then being rejected- and don't get me started on Kuriboh, he was just lazing about, I mean COME ON! He should've come out when Yuugi needed him. (Maho Shoheki?) Well perhaps this chapter satisfied the need for Yami to go after Yuugi, but with Ryou acting all strange and kinda… creepy will *muffle*. ^ w ^

Maria Starlight Thank-you for the first, yes to the second, and it depends on how much I alter the plot as I go along. *smiles sheepishly*

Psychicgirl32 Thanks! Ryou certainly has a difficult time choosing between good and evil, doesn't he? Well no worries, hopefully (if I can actually follow a story/plotline) we'll find out soon enough.
