Sorry for the delay! (Feeble little voice) I've Been Sick!

Moving on... Now, for the Much Awaited DATE!!!!

_____________________________________________________________________________

Yugi opened the door and led Ryou into his and Yami's apartment above the Game Shop. Yami, sitting in the corner of the room with his favorite book, watched them discreetly. He couldn't figure out why he was so jealous, and THAT was driving him crazy. It was YUGI. His HIKARI. His FRIEND. And savior. And Dueling Partner. And Soul-Mate...

SOUL-MATE???????????

WHERE in the UNDERWORLD did THAT come from????????????

You are such an IDIOT!!! HOW could you even THINK that about Yugi???? How could...

Suddenly, Yugi turned his head, and their eyes met. Violet met Crimson. Innocence met Corruption. The Mischievous Angel met The Virtuous Devil. A spark passed between those eyes. Of something more powerful than any word in any language could possibly describe, or any person, simpleton to scientist, could comprehend.

"I think we should get going now. Bye Yami!" Yugi smiled cheerfully at him. He threw an arm around Ryou's waist, causing Yami to seethe, and walked out the door. As soon as the door shut, he hit his forehead with his head.

...you have never realized it??

About five minutes later, he heard a knock at the door. Opening it, he was greeted with the sight of Bakura, who also seemed slightly irritated. Yami took only a second to wonder why.

"Hello, Bakura. May I ask why you're here?" Yami said politely.

Bakura stepped into the apartment, looking around. "Have the boys left for their date yet?"

"Uh, yes, why?" Yami inquired.

"I, uh, thought Ryou might like to take along his, uh, pen." Bakura said, sheepishly.

"Oh, yes, and I'm sure that Yugi might find his, uh, his... CD! Yeah, cd, very useful..." Said Yami, trying to cover up his embarrassment. It was obvious they were trying to make excuses.

"Say, uh, Yami... you wouldn't happen too know which theater they went to, do you?" Asked Bakura.

"Right around the corner from Kaiba's."

"I'll drive."

Both Yami's grabbed their jackets, and ran out the door.

Sitting in the back of the theater, Yugi and Ryou watched Bakura and Yami make their way to the very last row, and sit. Both Dark Ones were boring their eyes into their Light's backs as soon as they sat down. Ryou suppressed a giggle.

"Alright Yugi," he whispered. "Pay up."

"You're becoming more like Bakura every day." Yugi sighed, reaching into his pocket for the money he owed him.

"I'll take that as a compliment." said Ryou, who then stuffed in his jeans pocket.

"Ok, so, what's our game plan with this?" Yugi asked.

"I say, we give them a little show." said Ryou, with a wink.

"Good idea." said Yugi.

Meanwhile, Bakura watched the boys whisper in disgust. What in the name of Ra WAS this. His Ryou, His Hikari, His Entire Being... sitting with some squirt with tri-colored hair to match the wimpy pharaohs. His heart made a sudden jolt when Yugi put his arm around Ryou. He wanted to see red, specifically Yugi's blood. But then that ever-nagging question arose:

Why did HE care?

All of his thoughts and feelings jumbled and mixed inside his brain, as he tried to make sense of it all.

But then, he looked down, and saw Yugi kissing his Hikari. The same way his Hikari had kissed him. Twice.

He began to burn with a feeling he had hardly ever experienced in his life, spirit or not. This ache was ten times more painful than his dagger could ever be. It was a dagger of ice, that made his heart want to feel numb again. Made his heart want to be stone again. Like it was before. He felt like he was shattering.

Jealousy.

But he couldn't be jealous of Yugi. That would mean...

It all came together, in one startling, devastating conclusion:

He loved him. He loved Ryou.

Shakily, he stood. Watching curiously as Yami did the same. He walked down to where the two boys were sitting, and grabbed Ryou's hand.

"Bakura? What're you–"

"Ryou, I need to speak with you. Can you come with me?"

"Yes, Yugi, I need to speak with you as well." Yami added.

Both boys followed their yamis outside. Once out, Bakura looked Ryou in the eye. He took a deep breath and began.

"Ryou, I know that you think I'm a cold, heartless person, er, spirit. And I know you think I don't have feelings. But, I do. I just realized that you are the one thing in this world that I care about. The one friend I ever had. The one thing in this world that I actually... Love." Ryou's eyes grew wide. "And I realize that I have been absolutely evil to you since the first time I met you, but I won't live without you. I love you, Ryou, and there's nothing you can do or say to change that."

Yami said something along the same lines.

"Yugi, Hikari, I know what you think of me. I know you think I am only a friend. Only your protector, due to the fact you unlocked me from the dreadful darkness. But the truth is, I know that you care for me with deep friendship, but I have founds feelings within me, suggesting the fact that our relationship is stronger than that. I love you Yugi. I don't know when it started, but the truth is, I only just realized it myself. I love you and can't bare not having you by my side." Yugi gasped.

Then, for reasons unknown to the yamis, Ryou and Yugi suddenly gave a loud whoop, and gave each other high-fives

"Huh?" Both yamis said at the same time.

"Never mind," said Ryou. "We love you too. Have loved, actually."

They both reached in, and gave their yamis long sensual kisses, and then, somehow, Bakura caught on. He figured it out. And he couldn't believe such a plan was orchestrated by his little Ryou.

"Why, Ryou!" he said with a sly grin "If you aren't becoming more and more like me every day–"

"Then I'll say YOU'RE just growing soft." Ryou cut him off with a tap on the nose.

"Grrrrr..... Who ever said anything about growing soft?????" snarled Bakura, though this time it was playful, not dangerous.

"Well, it just seems that you haven't won a fight against me at all this week. What happened to big tough Bakura?" asked Ryou, innocently. Though one could still see the mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Well, that's only because of your new distraction technique.. But, I know what to do now! You can't use it anymore without giving me the advantage of knowing what you're going to do next. Hehe, Gotcha there!!" Bakura said, triumphantly.

"Oh, poo. I guess that means I have to find OTHER ways to distract you, doesn't it Bakura?" Ryou said in an innocent childlike tone. Yet the devilishness was somewhat revealed, when Ryou visibly grinded his hips into Bakura's, causing him to have to stifle a moan. And soon, they were in the car Bakura had drove up in, speeding back toward their apartment. Yami and Yugi just stood there, holding each other, clueless as to why the new couple had to run off so soon.

----The end----
